Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Bourbon
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened apple juice
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free maple-flavored syrup
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the bourbon, unsweetened apple juice, and sugar-free maple-flavored syrup.
Add the apple cider vinegar and soy sauce to the mixture, stirring well to combine all liquid ingredients.
Add the Dijon mustard, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir well until evenly mixed.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Allow the glaze to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces and thickens slightly.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the simmering glaze, whisking continuously to prevent clumping and ensure it is fully integrated.
Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and let cool for a couple of minutes. The glaze will thicken more as it cools.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently if needed before use.
